Screenwriter Jack Rosenthal used the same character name, "Bamber", for the head removal man in this movie and in the television series Moving Story (1994). In both cases, the character was a know-it-all who incessantly impressed, and bored, his colleagues with his prodigious knowledge, hence the nickname "Bamber", a reference to Bamber Gascoigne, the Question Master on University Challenge (1962).
A modern retelling of "La Ronde" by Arthur Schnitzler, which tells the story of several sexual encounters, starting with a prostitute and a soldier, then the soldier and a chambermaid, and so on up the social ladder until the final character who is a duke, who returns to have sex with the original prostitute. In this film, the transactions are property, rather than sex.
Rita Wolf's debut.
The Rank Organisation invested quite a bit of money into promoting this film, presumably hoping it would help make it a decent box-office hit. However audiences were indifferent to it, as were the reviews, plus it had the misfortune to be released at the same time as the Hollywood blockbuster 'Indiana Jones & the Temple of Doom' (1984) resulting in its poor box office.
Penultimate theatrical movie of Mark Dignam (Ambrose). His last one being On the Black Hill (1988).
"[repeated line] Bamber: Moving house is very upsetting. It's a big upsetment - people get upset."
"Betty: We're only moving because he knew we'd get over the odds for our house and this one's going cheap because her husband died - I WISH MINE WOULD!"
